evicting tenant who refuses to leave the property

Jason Forman
Posted

Hi All,

I have a lead that is priced pretty well but it has a tenant who hasn't been paying since before covid.  The tenants don't speak English so I'm assuming the cash for keys will be pretty difficult.  Let's say cash for keys isn't an option.  What is the process like to evict a tenant.  How long does it take?

 In case I forget, will someone please remind me to never buy in Philly?
